About Eggo waffles
Eggo Waffles are a popular pre-packaged, ready-to-toast breakfast food originally introduced in the United States in 1953 by the Kellogg Company. Known for their convenience and signature crisp texture when toasted, they are made primarily from enriched wheat flour, oils, sugar, and leavening agents. The waffles are fortified with vitamins and minerals, including iron and some B vitamins. A single serving (typically two waffles) provides approximately 190 calories, 8 grams of fat, 30 grams of carbohydrates, and 5 grams of protein. They are a quick source of energy, though they tend to be higher in refined carbohydrates and added sugars, making them best enjoyed in moderation alongside more nutrient-dense foods such as fruits and proteins.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy due to high carbohydrate content, useful for individuals needing an immediate energy boost.
- Fortified with iron (10% of the Daily Value per serving), which supports oxygen transport in the blood.
- Contains B vitamins, such as thiamin and riboflavin, which assist in energy metabolism.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store Eggo Waffles in the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) to maintain freshness. Toast directly from frozen or follow package instructions for warming.
